Haven't posted in a while, and to be honest, I don't know if I have too much to post. The main thing is that this year is blowing past. I went through a month of emergency medicine research in January, a month of Family medicine in february, and now I'm currently on 2 months of Pediatrics at the Children's Hospital of Michigan. The experience and patient exposure that I'm getting is great. I'm seeing a lot of classic pathologies like Diabetes, Down's syndrome, asthma, etc., and then I'm seeing a lot of rare things like spinal cord compression syndrome, Devic's disease (aka Neuromyelitis optica) and Pierre Robin Syndrome. Honestly, I think I am getting the best medical education that I can get. In terms of patient population and the clinical exposure, I'm not sure what can beat this.
I loved EM. Hands down. Nothing comes close to the experience I had on EM.
I loved FM as well. But the thing that made me like it so much was my preceptor. He was probably one of the coolest guys that I know, and one of the all-around best human beings probably alive today.
I am ambivalent about Pediatrics. I am currently on the inpatient service and I am not so keen on the schedule. My roommate is on the outpatient side of things and he seems to be sleeping very well at night (and into the morning).
